Bench key as Milan clinches

Milan's boys basketball team wrapped up its first league championship in 11 years with some key contributions from the bench Tuesday night.

The Big Reds got into early foul trouble, but fought through it to beat Jefferson 67-42.

"We got a huge lift from Nate Hibbart and Tim Mabry," Milan coach Josh Tropea said. "They gave us some great minutes in the post. (C.J.) Turnage and (Tory) Martinsen both picked up two fouls in the first quarter. We had to go deep into our bench and those guys really stepped up."
